This book features a detailed illustrated guide to painting equipment and techniques, and instructions on working with colour and how to mix paint recipes.
The main part of the book consists of over 25 inspirational projects, each focusing on a different household item. Ideas include a crackle-glaze picture frame, a seashore bathroom set, gilded candles, stamped wrapping paper, a Scandinavian table and a folk-art chair.
There is something for every level of expertise and ability, from simple projects such as a sponged lamp base to more complicated projects such as a harlequin screen.
